ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the operational status of public small libraries in Yuseong-gu and to establish a mid- to long-term development plan reflecting regional characteristics. To this end, the study reviewed prior research, examined the operational status of public small libraries in Yuseong-gu, and conducted user surveys and interviews with library operators. The findings show that while small libraries in Yuseong-gu demonstrate relatively strong performance in quantitative indicators such as collection size, number of users, and program operations, several qualitative challenges remain. These include limited professionalism due to volunteer-centered operations, disparities in library usage, constraints in collection and program diversity, and insufficient collaboration with public libraries. Based on these findings, the study proposes a vision of “a knowledge and cultural hub in everyday life that connects all users,” along with the goal of realizing a community-based, user-centered knowledge and cultural hub grounded in publicness and professionalism. To achieve this, four strategic directions are suggested: strengthening public trust in small libraries, promoting inclusive knowledge and cultural services, enhancing regional cooperation networks, and establishing a sustainable and professional operational foundation.
